Pet care experience

Home when your away

Looking for a place to socialize and care for your babies while you’re out enjoying life? Look no further. I have the space, resources and self experience to help, even if your puppies have zero/no social skills, (give me a shout).:)) My dog skills/experience are self taught and from years of owning and helped watching friend and family dogs. More importantly I understand your need to find a safe space for your babies while you are out town or busy moving around. Being 20 years in the Military gave me the first hand experiences (good/bad) owning a dog. The struggle to find a safe haven for you pups, I’ve seen it all and understand it. But I’m now Retired after 20 years and wanted to offer you and your pets that space to lessen those stressed that I’m very familiar with. So reach out and find out.:)). You and your pups would want to come back and we’d love for you to, cause that’s what friends suppose to do:))) (dogs friend for ever))

James took great care of Milo and Bruno when we needed to be out of town for a few days. It’s always hard to leave your pups for the first time with someone but immediately when I was dropping off I felt comfortable with James. So glad they had such a great relaxing time.

James and family are calm and loving. My GSD girl is well taken care of with them. James sends a photo or two every day which helps me know that she is doing well.

Pets

A typical day

On a good day, we will be outside in the yard, playing fetch and just run around chasing the neighbors walk-ing by the house, or just napping or sunbathing on the porch while others a play. On a bad weather day, we will be inside playing in the dog room downstairs or just napping cause nobody wants to do a lot when the weather sucks:))
